Cozy Home Pets: Jogging Gerbils

[beanie]

(Info from this site & my collection.)

Description: Comes with brown gerbil with cloth tail - purple collar with silver paw-print; brown gerbil with cloth tail - blue collar with silver paw-print; white gerbil with cloth tail - blue collar with silver paw-print; brown standing-up gerbil, plastic tail - red collar with silver paw-print.

Action: the white gerbil and brown gerbil with blue collar move through the tubes using the purple magnetic wand; standing brown one "drinks" water; brown gerbil with purple collar "runs" in the wheel when the knob on the outside is turned.

Accessories: Two square yellow transparent cages, transparent blue curved tube that attached onto the two cages, transparent tube that attached between the two cages, two lavender hole plugs, transparent pink wheel that attached on the inside of one cage, water bottle, pink food dish with light brown food, transparent lavender magnetic wand, paper "litter" for cage.


I am missing several things to this set - the second lid and second hole plug. I also do not have the "litter" (my parents made me throw it away for fear of it scattering all over the house. They were very particular.) My 'plug' is also green. I could not, for the life of me, recall how to put this set back together when I got it out of the box, LOL! So here it is in pieces.

The set is supposed to have two lids. The stoppers (two of them) are purple. That green stopper is from the set the next year. Sometimes there are two brown non-standing hamsters and a white one, while sometimes there are two white ones and a brown one. The standing one is brown. The one that varies has the purple collar.

I don't own the second set and never did - the green stopper came with this set. => And yes, I mentioned in the first post that I was missing the second lid and the second stopper.

Really? That's crazy. :-P Anyways, as a child I only owned the Hurrying Hamsters and Jogging Gerbils so I know their pieces pretty well. And I'm an eBay stalker now. I almost killed my cousin when she "lost" my white gerbil. Ok, not really. But I made her look everywhere until she found it. :-P

I think a lot of pieces just varied widely, especially when it comes to accessories! Food bowls especially seem to me like Hasbro just plucked one out of a big assortment and chucked whatever they chose into the set XD Or maybe I bought this set later in the run and they'd switched over to using green plugs in preperation for running the second set...?
Unfortunately accessory identifying is very, very difficult with the G1s for that reason =/

That was my favourite set as a kid.... I've still got it, but have mislaid one of the tubs. And the stoppers on mine were purple.
